On 26 November 1821, my 5 x great grandparents Samuel Cottrell and Ann Baker married, at St. Botolph Bishopsgate, London. Samuel and Ann had been together for over two years, and had already produced a son, my 4 x great grandfather Matthew.

@HannahHowe I'm curious to what extent your family's history was passed down in your family, and to what extent you've had to figure it out. Asking because pretty much 100% of what we know about my families is because I did the research; nothing was ever passed down.
@cjonthehudson My 2 x great grandfather William Howe was a deacon in the Methodist chapel. He had a huge family bible. In the bible he recorded family dates I also found a letter dated 1877. Details about my London ancestors are based mainly on my research.
